We were looking for a very last-minute trip to Crete in April and booked a flight with Aegean Airlines. (they have recently opened a new direct flight from Brussels to Heraklion!) This was our 3rd time on Crete so we wanted to try something different. Normally we stay at the beach to enjoy these wonderful views of the sea, but... More

This is the perfect place to spend a week or two. We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious and comfortable. It is worth talking to the hotel directly when booking as each room is different and they will talk through which would be best for you. The food was delicious and... More

Rarely do you go to a hotel that looks as it does in its photos but this one does. A little out of the way but well worth it, the staff are friendly, helpful and accomodating.The accomodation fabulous and no compromises made in outting together the suites to squeeze in few extra guests.The food was excellent and the kitchen catered...

The old hamlet of Kapsaliana and its barn to produce olive oil have been revamped in a secluded and sophisticated luxury retreat. The former small houses are now divided in spacious junior suites, some of them with big terrace, all are decorated with great sense for detail, the old alleys haven been restaured, and invite you for a walk to...

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Kapsaliana Village Hotel which was a beautiful place to stay. The conversion has been carried out sympathetically and there is lots of attention to detail in the rooms and the surrounds. We were warmly welcomed by all staff but the one person that stood out for us was Stelios in the... More

This place is absolutely beautiful. First of all you need to clear out in your mind what you are looking for. If you are travelling with kids, well, do not expect a water park or something like this. The hotel is located conveniently so that you can relax and enjoy Crete's beautiful nature and on top of it is somehow... More

Kapsaliana was where we chose to go for our 5th anniversary in November. It is nestled up in the mountains not too far (20min) from Rethymno. Beautiful accommodations, phenomenal food, quiet and serene environment. We were greeted by Brigitte who surprised us by having a bottle of champagne chilling in our room. We really enjoyed riding our mountain bikes around... More

A delight. We visited in September with our 5 month old baby. The village has been beautifully converted to a hotel with rooms based around the central dining area and the swimming pool. Its a short 20 min climb from the coast, and thats enough to take you away from the package hotels. Breakfasts are excellent and evening meals use... More

Elegant hotel, well-kept, quiet, need a rental car to get to the sights but not that far away from things. Restaurant good with reasonable prices. If you are lucky there won't be many grumpy German guests when you stay here. If you are looking for a quiet place away from the crowds you are right here.
